I have a Web Forms app that I created a few months ago and I added a Web API controller. I tried to use the 'automatic' routing that I saw in a presentation recently, but all I got was a 404. Then I tried to add routing for the Web API controller in my Global.asax using MapHttpRoute, as I've seen in several tutorials. However, even after adding Imports System.Web.Http to the file, the project will not recognize RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute() I have tried adding other namespaces and ensuring that I have all the necessary Nuget packages, but I still am unable to set up routing for the Web API controller. Does anyone have a recommendation of where to start?
I found this thread, which indicates that IntelliSense apparently has a problem with this, but if you type something like the following, it will build and run:
RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute("MyApi", "api/{controller}")
